Maths/Puzzle fans - GCHQ Christmas card

I know there’s a few of us on here.

The GCHQ Christmas card puzzle is lovely. You’ll need a printer and some colouring pencils.

looks lovely but that would be a lot of black ink to print out!

It isn't hugely challenging - just find the start letter and follow a chain of letters around to read out the message - no printing out / no colours needed....

Teen that’s true but when I printed it out as a photo from my iPad the black bit was only A6 size and it was still doable.

akkakk there’s another message hidden in there!

The folded letter is a D, turned sideways

Moonflower12 · 22/12/2019 19:23

An 'E'?

Not a D or an E!

It's an F. When unfolded it's upside down.

Just to make things more exciting, the answer to the quiz above is the only letter that does not appear in this sentence.

So, still F then?
